The story
- Waterfront
Perched above Clam Beach at the end of a quiet dead-end road, this one-of-a-kind coastal property offers ocean views, distinctive architecture, incredible privacy, and an extraordinary opportunity for a buyer with vision. Bring your design skills and imagination to a property filled with character, unique spaces, and potential. Originally built in 1964, the approximately 3,410 square foot main residence features 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus an approximately 680 square foot attached 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom ADU with its own entrance, kitchen, vaulted ceiling, and separate electric and propane. Ocean views can be enjoyed from much of the property, including the living room, dining room, kitchen, multiple bedrooms, second-floor living areas, ADU, decks, and even the custom sauna.
Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, dramatic architectural windows, abundant skylights, extensive natural wood detailing, and walls of glass create spaces filled with character and natural light. The primary suite includes a spacious bathroom with skylit walk-in shower, large walk-in closet, functional wood-burning stove, and an adjoining bedroom or office with ocean views. A wood-burning brick fireplace anchors the first-floor living area, while the kitchen offers a working wood cook stove along with a new refrigerator and dishwasher. New oak plank flooring has also been installed in the southern two-bedroom wing.
Set on approximately 0.86 acres, the indoor-outdoor possibilities are equally impressive. More than 800 square feet of expansive redwood decking provides abundant space for entertaining, relaxing, and taking in the surrounding coastal forest. A custom ocean-view sauna, cold plunge, operational hot tub, and outdoor shower create the foundation for a private home spa experience. A substantial approximately 20' x 30' concrete slab sits beneath the main deck, while the front grounds include a poured-concrete pond and remnants of what was once extensive landscaping, offering another opportunity to bring fresh ideas and creativity to the property.
Just above Clam Beach and near the Hammond Trail, the property combines the sound of the ocean, everyday sunsets, mature trees, privacy, and proximity to the coast in a setting that is increasingly difficult to find. This is a property for someone who sees possibilities. The home has unfinished and deferred work and is being sold as-is, creating an opportunity for a contractor, investor, creative buyer, or anyone ready to complete, update, and personalize a truly unique coastal retreat.
